Swimming in Preperations

Posted in 2007/2008 Homeschool Prep

I am drowning in the massive amount of materials I have on my desk  and on the computer for 1st grade. I am barely doggy paddling through it all and am pushing it to get done by 2 1/2 weeks. I finally ordered, after a thourough search for the cheapest prices, Prima Latina and God's Design for Heaven and Earth. GDH is 3 books and over 70 lessons so I am going to have to eliminate some material from our lessons or combine them, not sure since I haven't been able to actually "see" the books other than a page or two from Christianbook.com. I started printing out T-Rex's curriculum from Letter of the Week and putting my teacher book for him together and I am ready to shop for some learning toys for him and books. I started this afternoon to creat my lesson plans for the Story of the World and realized how intense it is going to be, whewy. I am going to have to work diligently on these if I want to do them right and for the full year, which honestly I may not beable to as much as my husband wants me to.

Can you use the science for two years maybe? I don't know what kind of learning toys you are wanting, but I just got Sassyfrass some cute puzzles from the dollar spot at Target-transportation themes. They are wood pieces in a wood tray, and they are jigsaw puzzles, not just shapes. I am going to put together the activity bags listed on Thoughtful Motherhood for the two littles to do while I work with the girls.
Have Fun!!

Great job on getting started already! That really is half the battle.

Don't worry too much about all the stuff that lays before you. A little more planning and prepping and then it'll be time to zip right through it.

Have a great weekend, my friend!
